June 26, 201411 yr US beat their 2nd team in a friendly, and for today all the US has to do is play a solid game and walk away with a tie.
June 26, 201411 yr Ghana kicked Boateng and Muntari off their team today. Players also threatened to start a mutiny after they didn't get their bonuses. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/ghana-throws...-112044669.html
June 26, 201411 yr game might be delayed due to heavy rains and flash floods http://www.espnfc.com/fifa-world-cup/4/vid...threatens-delay

June 26, 201411 yr QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jun 26, 2014 -> 08:01 AM) Their first team just tied a team that the US beat. The US has EPL/Bundesliga caliber players playing in MLS. Just because they are in MLS doesn't mean they are worse. US did not outplay Ghana (we won but we weren't the better team that day; do we have excuses for why, sure, but point being, Ghana is a really good team) and Germany didn't play their big game. The Germans are an absolute monster of a force.
June 26, 201411 yr Author What are the rules on roster changes? Is it too late to add Michael Phelps?

Just because they are in MLS doesn't mean they are worse. Aside from maybe Bradley and a couple of our goalies I don't think we have anyone who could suit up for the top 2 teams there, which is basically what their whole roster is, and the rest play for equally elite clubs. We could have players on lower table fodder but that's about it. (No I'm not counting Julian Green)
June 26, 201411 yr Omar Gonzalez getting the start instead of Cameron... I don't mind Bard Davis for Bedoya, but Gonzalez has not been great lately (granted Cameron had two huge mistakes vs. Portugal, but he was a rock vs. Ghana). Conditions favor a sloppy, low scoring match. Get a point today, render the other match irrelevant, and let's start thinking about Belgium...
June 26, 201411 yr Id say its a really unlikely scenario that Germany wins by 2. As soon as they get a goal lead they should just pack it in seeing as a win or tie is the same to them.
June 26, 201411 yr QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 26, 2014 -> 11:19 AM) So, this is what a good soccer team looks like, huh? They have their flaws but setting up offensive pressure isnt one of them.
June 26, 201411 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 26, 2014 -> 11:34 AM) Bradley keeps giving the ball away. They have to make the correct runs as well. Pretty physical game with no calls.
June 26, 201411 yr He's playing well in his own zone but atrocious in goal scoring opportunities. What a bad touch.
